Message: [QUOTE="RedtheGOB, post: 5474415, member: 8907"] This is why the clean house mentality was so important before the portal even started in my opinion. There were no seats made available for any guys that were "wait and see" or "maybe they improve" or even deep bench guys that "could help us" late in the season. That was mainly the category of Kyle Cuffe and Petar. Also I've been very critical of Chris Bell as a plague both in the locker room and on the court from a senior leader perspective. Donnie was the 1 guy we needed back and I expect we made him priority #1. Lastly my take on JJ still was that he was expendable but given he came back the right way with his hat in his hand without entering the portal and also dedicated to recruiting new guys in the portal. Both came back the right way then early pickups for both Nate's and the pieces starting falling in line. [/QUOTE]
